A treasury of stories, songs, tradition, gift ideas, recipes and good cheer to help create a joyous holiday.

Off you go, little book!

Caught at the pre-Christmas meet-up today.

I have glimpsed through this little book and will try to add here a photo of a wall plaque of Sir Henry Cole, whom we are to thank for the custom of sending Christmas Cards! He used to live in Hampstead, London, close to the place I used to call my home away from home.
I do love to send Christmas cards and even if I lived a hundred years old I would not have to buy another Christmas card... I could actually open a card shop any day. It's a pity Facebook and emails have made people lazy, snail mail and greeting cards are disappearing - endangered species.
I am sending this little book to the decoy of Abi-Gibby's Christmas Sweepstake - I was the lucky winner this year! I hope your will enjoy this book, George Clooney and what else slipped into the envelope. Merry Christmas!

What a great surprise, thanks so much and also for all the other things you sent me :)

A nice little book, love the Christmas checklist - made me laugh so much. Perhaps I should try this out for next Christmas :)

Enjoy :)

This arrived in my mail this morning. Looks like a nice easy little read. Thanks for sharing.
